Personal Quote: Don't hate, appreciate!

I've always liked writing stories but never really have the time to actually finish them or that I get writer's block easily that it loses my interest in continuing. Hopefully I would be able to explore and experiment on different types of elements and ideas and see what I can come up with.

I love reading in general from classic and contemporary novels to manga stories. I also love web & graphic designing as well as photography, learning more about new things from different cultures and countries to many other things. I also love my family, my friends, and my cats.

I have a blog focused on writing in general, Adriatastic, as well as a web designing portfolio. I also showcase my works in my devArt account (fics included!). I'm currently working on a Negima fansite and currently moving my personal blog to a new domain. I'm also a maintenance techie for the Five Sectors Code Lyoko Forum. I'll let you know when it's up.

UPDATES

7/6/09 - Changed the title from Crux Odyssey Society to Freedom Sky Mysteries. I guess it's a lot catchier this way.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Freedom Sky Mysteries (Story 01) - Homecoming teen siblings, Airi and Kap Horie, help their police homicide detective mother solve a shocking mystery behind a tragic death of a young couple with the help of their old childhood friends. As they work to find clues, evidence, witnesses, and suspects, the Hories must also deal with being new students at an exclusive private high school, new peer pressures, and the unusual student society hierarchy system in the school including the mysterious secret society known as the Crux Odyssey Society (COS). Expect many humorous moments as well as enjoying a solid, sometimes typical, cozy amateur detective story.

FAVORITE STORY GENRES

MYSTERY - LOTS OF IT! I don't care when it takes place, where it takes place, and who the characters are, as long as the entire storyline is a mystery to solve by the reader and/or the fictional main character altogether.

HUMOR - Laughter is the best medicine. Life isn't always fair for everyone, but you can't let misery bring you down as a person. You have to stand up against all odds and laugh when you can. Besides, it balances out life in general, both positive and negative. The Yin and Yang thing.

RELATIONSHIPS - Be it general friendship, family relationships, or romance, it's the characters' relationship that creates the story.

SIDENOTE
The avatar I'm using is (c) 2008 Adrimarie. That includes the background pattern and the girl itself. It's a "3D anime-ish self-portrait" of myself if you call it. I can make a "personalized" avatar for you if you like. Be sure to be specific, however I'm still a beginner in 3D art so please leave it to my discretion when I'm designing your avatar. Thanks!
